30 years ago I had a 1972 W-300 with a 9's pickup bed and a 12,000 Tulsa winch on the front. After i bought the truck it failed a state safety inspection because it had no shocks on the rear. Hell, it didn't even have any shock mounts. Got a half gallon of bourbon and made some up in an afternoon.

The truck was hard on tires, it ate up a pair of Coop Grip Spurs on the front in less than 6,000 miles.

I just drooled all over my keyboard, I love those old Dodge's, its mopar or no car for me! (with the exception of old cornbinder's or Jeeps LOL)
 
I wheel a 97 Cherokee and a good friend of mine has the IH disease quite a bit worse than I do. He has a beautifully restored 73 Scout II with a hot rod 304 in it, a 72 Scout II 4spd with an identically built 304 in it that he plows snow with, and a 78 Traveller he wheels with a 345, 4spd, Dana 20 with twin sticks, and locked 44's front and rear runnin on 35's, thing goes like a tank, he also has a 72 IH 1 ton Dump and another Scout II waiting for some love, as well as enough parts and bodies to probably put together 3 more scouts at least... I saw that scout after I posted and was going to ask if it was yours haha, you have a lucky son!
 
Here are mine.
The Ghel was 20k it is the Muel of the operation. I love that thing.
I also use my 300 king quad of 1997 vintage 1500 invested and a 100.00 plastic trailer.
 
That thing is a beast! I've never actually seen a 1500.
Our Scout has an Isuzu 4bd1t turbo-diesel with a NV 4500 5 speed. He get 35 mpg around town. I figured that since I'm buying the fuel, he'd have a diesel. It's faster than the 345 it replaced.

Good golly that would make me one sweeeeeet Daily Driver, especially drivin 30 miles a day to school, the ole cherokee only gets about 15mpg on a good day with the 4.56's, 33's and a profile like a barn door, not to mention all the extra steel I have hangin on it haha

Got any pics of that Scout....?:msp_thumbup:
 
I sold this 1971 1500 4x4 last year. Had a 345 and 5 speed and a roller at the back of the bed.

I had that truck in a one ton dually dump 4x4 with a plow I built a chip box on it that was late 60' I think. Sold it in mid 70's. It was a great truck. Wish I still had every truck I once owned in my life. Maybe I see them in the after life lol.

No it doesn't have the worm drive in it yet. I have a Ruxtell 4 speed worm drive out of a TT in my back yard to put into it some day though.
